Description of the problem | I ordered this vehicle, f350 king ranch, and took delivery february 2018. Since then the tailgate has intermittently opened on its own. The first time was february 27, 2018. The truck does have the power tailgate release option. This has happened both when the truck is stationary and in motion. In the 19 months i have had the truck the tailgate has opened approximately 15 times. Fortunately, i haven't lost anything out of the bed while driving, so far. I have no idea what the cause is. |
